Protein shake without the cholesterol?

christenwypy

I had two protein shakes today, one after each workout. I recently read that this is the best way to ensure that your body does not start eating away at muscle. But now I see my cholesterol is really high for the day. I have high cholesterol and part of my heath journey is to control that. Does anyone know of a protein shake that has little or no cholesterol?

First of all, protein shakes are not necessary for building OR preventing muscle breakdown. Just make sure you get 1g of protein per pound of lean body mass per day, and you'll be fine. This can be from any protein source, such as; meat, eggs, fish, etc.

Second of all, dietary cholesterol is not that important to worry about at. At all. It has little to no effect on your serum cholesterol.
